Janjgir-Champa. A strange case has come to light in Ambikapur. Here a land owner had applied to correct the map of his land. Misusing the government machinery, the Patwari demanded a bribe of 10 thousand rupees from the land owner and said that he would not work without money. Fearing that the work would not be completed, the land owner went straight to the DM in search of money to ask for a loan. To get his work done, the land owner

demanded 10000 for a signature 
. To get his work done, the land owner gave 2500 rupees to the Patwari and went to the Collector to ask for a loan of the remaining 7500 rupees. So that he could get his land related work completed. Let us tell you that this situation also weakens the trust of the common citizens towards administrative work, the Collector has ordered an immediate investigation of the matter, while transparency and strict action is required in such cases, so that corruption can be stopped and citizens' faith in the government system remains intact. Mohammad Mustakim, who

applied to the DM to borrow money, 
told that he is a resident of Mominpura. When he went to the Patwari office, the Patwari did not draw the map for his land and demanded Rs. 10,000. The applicant said that he had Rs. 2500 with him and did not have more than that. The Patwari refused to do the work as the amount was less. After this, the applicant applied to the collector to lend him money so that he could get his land related work done by the Patwari by paying the money. The applicant said that he is very upset, he is being made to run around so much for just one signature and a huge amount is being demanded.

Necessary action will be taken. 
In this regard, Ambikapur SDM Fagesh Sinha said that an application has come in Jandarshan in which a person has said that the concerned local Patwari has demanded money for map correction. In this application, money has been asked for loan from the collector. Necessary action will be taken after investigating this application.
